February 27, 2018

A Sunday, Feb. 25 event aimed to strike back at a big killer of young athletes: sudden cardiac arrest.

More than 200 student-athletes lined SilverLakes Equestrian and Sports Complex in Norco for free heart and health screenings to protect against such an emergency. Organizers said each screening would have cost about $1,500 at a hospital.
